About a week ago, residents delivered a letter to City leaders insisting that Freeport McMoRan Oil & Gas (FMOG) be held accountable for their pervasive violations of conditions to operate at the Jefferson Drill Site.FMOG plans to withdraw their application to drill three new wells under our neighborhood and wants the case closed. However, residents are insisting that the City complete a review of conditions, hold FMOG accountable for violations, and impose new conditions to protect our health and safety. Much work remains, but together we are building a safe, healthy, opportunity-rich community where children and their families thrive. Grateful for your partnership.P.S. Our victory this week received some nice coverage in the local media in the LA Times, KPCC, and LA Business Journal. |
